About

CHN Analytics, LLC operates as North AI, an AI-powered technology intelligence platform for military, defense and government leaders. The company launched in 2018 and supported the Office of Strategic Intelligence & Acquisition within OUSD R&E at the Pentagon for more than five years before productizing that capability in 2023 as an on-demand analysis and reporting platform. Its proprietary NorthStar methodology applies trained language models to a curated corpus of hundreds of millions of open-source innovation documents — patents, publications, grants and contracts — layered on DoD budget signals. The company is based in Loveland, Ohio.

Five-plus years embedded with the Pentagon's emerging-technology discovery office, turned into a commercial platform that ties DoD budget lines to patent, grant and contract activity rather than treating open-source innovation data as a keyword search problem.
